This immune booster juice is made with fresh carrot orange and ginger and makes the perfect immunity booster drink for adults and kids as well! Not only is it healthy and refreshing, but it also tastes great, easy to make and with such a vibrant color!
It’s the best immunity juice recipe that you can make by either using a juicer or a blender.
By combining carrot juice with other fruit or veggies you can make an excellent immunity juice by increasing your beta-carotene intake, which is then converted into vitamin A in the body.
Besides my go-to immune boosting tonic recipe with ginger garlic lemon and honey, I also like to make this fresh immunity juice recipe in the morning. The combination of flavors and the abundance of nutrients in this immune booster juice is ideal for starting your day. For lazy days I just make ginger infused water.

Carrot Orange Ginger Juice Benefits
This carrot ginger orange juice recipe is extremely nutritious and makes a great immunity booster drink.
One 4-ounce glass of carrot juice has about 400% of your daily recommended intake of vitamin A, more than enough to meet your daily requirement.
Add another 4 ounce of orange juice and you’ll also consume about 60% of your daily recommended intake of vitamin C.
This carrot orange ginger juice is not only great for boosting immunity, but it’s also excellent for maintaining healthy skin, eyesight, and cardiovascular health.
How This Orange Carrot And Ginger Juice Benefits The Immune System
The carrot provides vitamin A and carotenoids, the orange provides vitamin C, and the ginger provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
- Vitamin A and carotenoids in carrots exhibit anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and immunity booster properties, with promising effects against viral diseases.
- Oranges are a particularly good source of vitamin C and folate, which both have roles in reducing inflammation and in supporting innate and acquired immune responses.
- Ginger has a multitude of bioactive compounds with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help protect your cells from damage and improve your gastrointestinal health.

How to Make This Immune Booster Juice Recipe
To make this carrot orange ginger juice, simply combine the following ingredients in a juicer or blender:
Ingredients:
- Carrots (fresh carrots, peeled or not, it’s up to you).
- Orange (fresh oranges, peeled);
- Ginger (fresh ginger, peeled).
Instructions For Juicer:
- Prepare the carrots and oranges: scrub/clean the carrots well. Leave them unpeeled if you’re using organic carrots – the skin contains concentrated vitamin C and niacin. You can peel them if you’re using conventional carrots – the concentration of pesticides is higher in the peel. Also peel the oranges and the ginger.
- Chop the ingredients to a size that fits your juicer and begin juicing according to the user’s manual.
3. Enjoy this fresh immunity juice within 30 minutes. If you can’t consume it right away, store in a glass airtight bottle in the refrigerator up to 36-48 hours.
Instructions For Blender:
- Prepare your carrots, oranges and ginger (wash and peel, cut into smaller chunks, about 1.5 inch);
- Mix: place in a blender and add water (pour gradually just enough to help blending) and blend on high for 30 seconds until smooth.
- Strain through a mesh bag / nut milk bag and squeeze as much juice with your hands in a clean container. Don’t use a regular metal strainer you’re going to waste a lot of juice. Discard the pulp, or use it in baking goods. Serve the fresh juice right away!
- Alternatively you could leave it as it is, and enjoy it as smoothie (if you don’t mind the abundance of fiber).

How To Enhance The Vitamin Absorption Of This Juice
Since carotenoids are sensitive to temperatures and are prone to degradation, thermal treatment (such as use of a centrifugal juicer) often results in substantial loss of carotenoids. For best results use a cold press masticating juicer.
Moreover you can increase the vitamin absorption by drinking this immune booster juice with orange carrot ginger combined with a little fat (vitamin A and C are fat soluble). Fats you can consume with (or after) are: oils, avocado, egg, nuts (butter or milk), fish oil capsules etc.
The Taste of This Immune Booster Juice
The flavor of the juice made in a blender is a bit diluted, because of added water, therefore is a bit less sweet/intense but still tasty.
The carrot orange and ginger juice made with a juicer is much more concentrated (as you will need more carrots and oranges to make the same amount of juice) it has more nutrients and a more intense flavor. The ginger adds quite a kick.
Which is better?
It all depends on your preferences. If you mind the extra time needed to strain the pulp, go with juicing. If you want to save on time and clean-up, go with blending and adding water until desired consistency is reached.
How To Store Carrot Orange and Ginger Immunity Juice For Later Use
If you want to make this immune booster juice ahead of time, you can store it in a glass airtight bottle in the fridge for up to two days. But, it’s best enjoyed right away, because vitamin ascorbic acid tends to degrade quickly.
Store Bought Juice Vs Freshly Squeezed
Keep in mind that there is some vitamin loss due to pasteurization and storage of store-bough juices. For example a store-bought orange juice has 15% less vitamin C and 27% less folate than fresh squeezed juice.
